As can be seen from the figure above, there are four main areas: the lobby and the 

three team rooms.  The long horizontal line in the north side of the lobby is the 

information board which is conveniently located right next to the spawn point (or in other 

words, the point where users appear when they first log into the world), marked with “S”.  

Right next to it (marked with “R”), is the receptionist that can be interacted with as soon 

as the world loads, also placed there for the students’ convenience.  The team rooms can 

be accessed by going to the appropriate door and providing the right password.  Once in 

the room, the students can utilize the wide variety of tools for project collaboration.  As 

of now though, these rooms are empty, since this isn’t included in the scope of this 

project.

The next figure gives a better overview of what the world looks like once the user 

is logged in (Note: this angle was chosen to show the lobby in its entirety).  As can be 

seen, the lobby provides more than enough room to hold the whole class, if needed.  The 

receptionist and the information board are clearly visible from any point in the lobby and 

are easily accessible.
